Feeling that Hobart was ridiculous, Amelia said, "Do you think I'll accept you if you make everyone know that you like me? Hobart, you always compare yourself with Patrick. In fact, you're just using me to fight against him. If one day I fall in love with you, it'll mean that you've defeated Patrick. This result will make you very happy, right?"

Hobart stopped talking.

"But have you ever thought about how you're going to treat me after defeating him? Will you marry me or start a new relationship with another woman? Hobart, what will you choose?"

Hobart still did not speak, he panted more heavily.

"If you figure it out, leave Roxxon immediately and don't disturb their work anymore."

After saying that, Amelia hung up the phone.

Then Patrick arrived and walked to her.

Amelia immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Hopper, I'm here!"

After getting closer to her, Patrick glanced at the people around her, especially men.

After recognizing Ryan, Patrick's handsome face darkened.

Amelia was still worried about the trouble caused by Hobart. After saying goodbye to Ryan in a hurry, she said to Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, let's go."

Patrick nodded expressionlessly. After that, he looked at Ryan deeply and then left.

In Lamborghini, Patrick put his wrist on the window with a cigarette between his two fingers. He said in a lazy and tired voice, "Did you go there for Ryan?" Amelia was surprised that Patrick had known her purpose, "There are so many people in the club. How do you know that I went there for Ryan?" Patrick said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows Ryan loves fishing the most." After a pause, he asked again, "Why did you went there to replace him?" Amelia said, "The alcohol I mentioned in the office was produced by Ryan's company."

Patrick flicked the ashes from this cigarette and said blandly, "You're not allowed to continue the business with him. Do you hear me?" Amelia said with unwillingness, "Ryan's products are good. I want to..."

"I said no. Can't you understand my words?" Patrick sucked on his cigarette as if he was provoked by something annoying.

Amelia held his hand and persuade him in a low voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't smoke too much. It's not good for your health."

Patrick was touched by her worry and compromise. Then he suddenly pulled her and held her in his arms firmly.

He lowered his head, gently rubbed her pink neck with his straight nose, and said with insecurities, "Don't you want to know why?"

Feeling the frailty in his tone, Amelia hesitated and raised her hand to touch his hair.

The tip of Patrick's hair was a little hard. It was said that this kind of people was not soft-hearted and might cause the people around him to get hurt.

Amelia was not afraid. Instead, she smiled and said, "You are my boss, and I am an employee. If you don't want me to continue the business, I have to listen to you." After forgetting himself for a moment, Patrick returned to normal.

He shouldn't have revealed his true feelings easily.

When he saw Ryan, he remembered what happened in the past. If it was not for Ryan's son, he would not have separated from Sissi.

At the Roxxon Corporation.

When Patrick drove back to the company, Hobart and his men had already left. There were a few cleaners who were cleaning up the petals all over the ground.

Seeing this, Patrick was a little confused, while Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.

Rolling down the window, Patrick asked one of the cleaners, "Where is Hobart?"

The cleaner said, "He left a long time ago."

Patrick was more confused, "Did he leave?"

Hobart looked as if he would not give up until he saw Amelia just no. But he actually left.

Amelia said beside him, "Perhaps Hobart just did that on a sudden impulse. He doesn't really like me."

"How do you know that?" Patrick stared at Amelia's calm face and asked, "Did you call him?"

Amelia was shocked. Why Patrick knew everything about her?

Patrick continued to ask, "What benefits did you promise Hobart that he actually agreed to leave?"

Amelia said honestly, "I refused him and told him that I knew his purpose. He just wants to challenge you."

Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "You know yourself well."

Hearing it, Amelia said unhappily, "What do you mean? I'm charming and there must be someone who likes me!"

Hearing her words, Patrick's face darkened again, "I never doubt your feminine charm, but it's a pity that all the men you attracted are not good. You'd better raise your vigilance, and don't be hurt by bad men" Amelia said disapprovingly, "Do you mean that you're a bad man?"

Patrick thought for a while and said, "I've never been attracted by you."

"You!" Amelia was angry. She gritted her teeth and said to him, "Among these men around me, you are the most likely to hurt me. I just need to guard against you."

Patrick replied gracefully, "Innocent."

Hearing his words, Amelia was annoyed.

Patrick threw a document to her and looked at her mockingly, "Look at this first."

At first, Amelia didn't care too much about it. But when she read the document, she was stunned.

The terrain of the land bid by Daniel was rugged, it was so difficult to bring it under cultivation.

What's more, it was more likely to be in natural disasters than other areas.

Patrick asked leisurely, "How do you feel after reading my investigation report?"

If he hadn't been more cautious and asked the secretary to thoroughly investigate the land, he would have already called the quality supervision department and asked them to authorize the project of Apex Construction Corporation.

Amelia put the document on her knees and said slowly, "I want to know your opinion."

After all, it was not her who could really help Apex Construction Corporation, but Patrick.

Patrick said coldly, "I hate opportunistic people. I won't help Daniel."

Amelia felt relieved in her heart.

Although Patrick's refusal seemed a little unkind, he was undoubtedly a moral businessman, which was rare and commendable in the business circle.

She didn't speak for for Daniel anymore, "I will reject him."
